Thanks, Shajith.

That's uber cool.

I couldn't get your example working so I had to redo it slightly. But 
THANK YOU for the pointer - that was exactly what I needed.



For anyone else looking here is what I ended up doing


require 'open-uri'
url = 'http://localhost:3000/report_details/csv_export/2'
csv = open(url, 
:http_basic_authentication=>['username','password']).read
File.open('exports.csv','w') { |f| f.write(csv)}




On a side note I was wondering how would pipe output of of open(url) 
straight into a file? As I understand File.open(){} - takes each line of 
csv and writes it to file. Am I wrong?
